Sidewood Stablemate Shiraz 2017
Adelaide Hills, Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide, South Australia, AustraliaThe parcels of fruit are preselected for the perfect ripeness. A portion goes through the fermentation process as whole berries and under a partial carbonic maceration to add more layers of complexity. It spends 12 months in French oak barriques, one quarter of which were new. In the glass, it's textbook fresh Adelaide Hills, with plummy white peppery fruit and a lovely long and juicy midpalate that finishes fresh with a hit of spice and silky tannins that only add to its charm. Lambchops, anyone? Fine value.Tasted: 01 May 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $23.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
